OJR school bus involved in minor crash, no injuries

SOUTH COVENTRY — A school bus taking elementary students home after their first day of school was involved in a minor crash Tuesday.

Michael Christian, the Owen J. Roberts Superintendent, said there were no injuries to students or the driver.

“The bus was in a minor accident after leaving French Creek Elementary School,” he said.

Christian said that state police were not called to the crash site, but they were contacted the next day.

The crash occurred at the intersection of Pigeon Creek Road and Porter’s Mill Road.

Pennsylvania State Police in Embreeville said an accident report was not written up because it was considered a non-reportable incident since there were no injuries and the bus was driveable.

Despite the minimal amount of damage to the bus, Christian, who was at the scene, said a second bus was called in order to get the children home. Parents were notified with an email blast as soon as the children were loaded into the second bus, Christian said.

The email contained a number to call if parents had questions, he said.

Christian said that the driver underwent mandatory testing after the crash, but the results were not available.
